So, I did the 6 month ever so fun protein diet and lost 31 lbs. I had my surgery and am noticing how little I can drink when trying to get all my protein and liquids in. I am truly sipping all day. I am not tempted to eat all I cook for my hubby and kids like I used to but find myself dreaming of apple cinnamon muffins lol which I never really ate before? ? I enjoy mixing my soups together like cream of potato and regular tomato soup with some seasonings yum!! I want to be healthy for my gorgeous hubby and my kids, before this, I felt nasty and FAT, totally disgusting. .... my hubby never brought up my weight he just loved me. I feel encouraged to be better even though family and friends think I took the easy way out, bariatric surgery isn't easy.
